Thanks to those who attended the second meeting of the Boise
SQL Server User Group. We had a good turnout of around 30 people and I hope everyone
enjoyed my presentation of SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS). I tried to
balance the presentation between those who hadn't used SSIS and those who have.

If you are interested in the sample projects, packages, and data files from the talk, here they
are.

For the first time in the report’s history, Microsoft is positioned in the Leader
quadrant in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Data Warehouse DBMS. The analysts say that
SQL Server 2005 is expected to grow in the data warehouse space and Microsoft’s vision
for SQL Server 2008 makes clear the company’s intent to become a major presence in
the data warehouse market.
